SIGNED COPIES!!! of THUNDER IN THE VOID by Henry Kuttner

Mike Resnick was the Guest of Honor at Pulpfest 2012 this summer in Columbus, OH and he signed several copies of THUNDER IN THE VOID by Henry Kuttner (Mike wrote the learned and erudite introduction).

While supplies last, we will ship these autographed copies of THUNDER IN THE VOID for the regular $40 price. If you don’t want an autographed copy (really?), let us know with your order and you’ll receive one of the shrink-wrapped unsigned copies.

This book is a massive collection of 16 fun and exciting Space Opera stories originally printed in Astonishing Stories, Super Science Stories, and Planet Stories with original and unpublished story, “The Interplanetary Limited.” How cool is that?
